From the time we are born we have a desire to belong. The most precious gift we can give our children is the ability to be and feel connected to their communities. With a focus on the future, the Telstra Foundation ® supports community organisations that share our vision of making a positive and lasting difference to the lives of Australia’s children and young people.
Social Innovation Grants
NOW OPEN
The Telstra Foundation is looking for big ideas that use information and communication technologies to engage and connect Australia's children and young people (0 - 24 years) to their communities. Kids who are facing social and geographic isolation in the areas of education, health and wellbeing are a priority.
Applications open 9 August.
Telstra’s Kids Fund is a valuable means by which Telstra employees can direct Telstra’s philanthropic giving and support their local communities across Australia.
The Telstra Foundation Community Connection Program provided an exciting opportunity to recognise Telstra employees' contribution and effort in the community. This one-off program provided grants in two key areas - Community Connection Leadership Grants and Community Connection Volunteering Grants. This program is now closed.
The Telstra Foundation shares its knowledge and reports on its activities with the wider community. Our yearly reports, media releases and announcements are available to download.
